a lot of trades are happening now at the NBA. the cavs and magic have started preparing for the next season. i think the Carter would have a lot of impact on the magic team but i'm not sure of Shaq. i know he had a run last season with the suns but he's not as dominating as he have been in the lakers or on his first season in miami.

also, the new draft picks are quite interesting. i wonder what would happen to Ricky Rubio. i became a fan when i saw him in 2008 olympics. but he was a no show in twolves' press con for the new draft picks. i think they are considering on trading him.

I forgot, is Carter a post up player? Cause that's what they need. If not then if Hedo leaves the team, the team probably won't do as well as the past season since Hedo's a better 3 point shooter. The team I'm worried about the most is the Cavs since they got Shaq for nothing. Shaq wasn't that much of an impact on the Suns because they traded marion, who was then a better and more suited player than Shaq for the Suns. However, Cavs did nothing but upgraded their roster and I mean gave up absolutely nothing for it.

[dna2playboy]

dunno. there are a lot of stacked teams this year. I'm hoping for Lakers. It's too early to tell. I just hope the Bulls give us another show in the playoffs.

Nah, sorry. Bosh is leaving Canada for greener pastures.

Carter has a pretty good post-up game for a guard.

The Cavs also got Zydrunas back for nothing, but the Magic bench is really the deepest bench in the NBA. Before the post-season the bench players really stepped up. Redick, Pietrus, Bass, Gortat and Anderson were playing like an NBA-champ bench.

Did you watch see the THunder-Lakers game 2? It's sad to see injuries taking away from Kobe's game. It was so bad in that first half that i change the channel. That index injury is causing a lot problems for his game

hey, that was all the way back on opening day when the future was still bright. and yah, chances are high that he leaves now, since the raptors collectively shat the bed this season.

and yah, kobe's getting old. it would've been crazy if OKC managed to upset the lakers, they're a ridiculously young team and it's their first playoffs. OKC vs phoenix was what i was hoping for - a team supposedly too young vs a team supposedly too old, plus phoenix's always fun to watch.
